Western visual novel publisher JAST USA, through their JAST Blue publishing label, has today announced that the popular boys love title DRAMAtical Murder will be available soon in English. Setting out to offer both bright cyber-pop visuals and a dark, compelling storyline – DRAMAtical Murder was originally released in Japan by Nitro+CHiRAL in 2012, receiving a 2014 anime adaptation which has been brought to international audiences by CrunchyRoll and Sentai.
Pre-orders for an 18+ physical edition are now being accepted via the J-List online store. In addition to a disc copy of the game, you will also receive an original soundtrack CD, Digital Artbook, two randomly selected limited edition character badges (only with pre-orders) and a Steam key. An uncensored standard edition version will also be available via the JAST USA website. The visual novel, as mentioned before, will also be available via Steam. The steam version will be altered to remove erotic content, although a patch to restore cut content will be offered through the JAST USA website.
A formal release date for DRAMAtical Murder has yet to be confirmed.
We’re so excited to share this incredible game with players, and know they’ll fall in love with the cast of memorable, gorgeous characters while determining what twists the story will take.
Mary Borsellino – Director of JAST BLUE
The Story of DRAMAtical Murder
The beautiful island of Midorijima was once a place where people lived in harmony with nature, until the Toue Corporation took over and forced the island’s residents into the shadow of Platinum Jail, a walled-off megaresort where the wealthy wallow in luxury.
Aoba is a young man living with his grandmother, working part-time in a junk shop while his peers join gangs or immerse themselves in virtual reality. All Aoba wants is a peaceful life, but strange things are happening in Midorijima, and soon he will have to fight… or lose everything that he holds dear.
